Some say he was a mistique poet, who wrote beautiful poetry based on occult studies that did.

"Fernando Pessoa, born Fernando António Nogueira Pessôa (Portuguese pronunciation: [fɨɾˈnɐ̃dw ɐ̃ˈtɔɲju nuˈɣejɾɐ pɨˈsow.wɐ]; June 13, 1888 – November 30, 1935), was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher and philosopher, described as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language. He also wrote in and translated from English and French. Pessoa was a prolific writer, and not only under his own name, for he dreamed up approximately seventy-five others. He did not call them pseudonyms because he felt that did not capture their true independent intellectual life and instead called them heteronyms. These imaginary figures sometimes held unpopular or extreme views."

The poet is a man who feigns And feigns so thoroughly, at last He manages to feign as pain The pain he really feels,And those who read what once he wroteFeel clearly, in the pain they read,Neither of the pains he felt,Only a pain they cannot sense.And thus, around its jolting track There runs, to keep our reason busy, The circling clockwork train of ours That men agree to call a heart.

Fernando Pessoa was the apostle of an antidemocratic and elitist nationalism. A mystical nationalism was perhaps the only element of ideological coherence in his work. He was always marked by the radicality of his ideological and political attitudes.

Fernando Pessoa is a great writer, not sure about their racial purity but the truth is he was a great nationalist Portuguese.

I don't know...Some say he was jew because he was at masonary, but i don't think so... He went on many other orders, religions, etc. during his life. He was all and nothing at the same time. It's just my opinion, but I think he is white.
